20170503_214132.jpg 20170503_204113.jpg First noticed this a few days ago, and it's getting worse. I flushed her today, but not sure what the problem seems to be. Buds are flowering slow, but aside from that they seem healthy. Hitting my fan leaves pretty hard though... my guess is cal-mag? Or some kind of problem introduced by bad ph. Pics below.

Strain: Fast buds gorilla glue auto flower, age about 6 weeks, roughly?

Light: 300w Bloomspect full spectrum L.E.D about 20inches above the plant

Water: tap water ph'd to 6.5 every 3 or 4 days (tested runoff today came out as 7.3)

Temp&Rh: low 65.9F High 80.3F / Low 37% high 68%

Medium: organic kind soil topped with ffof, no nutes, the plant feeds as needed for up to 2.5 months provided everything is in check.

If more info is needed just ask.

Same issue with Kind Soil during flower. This one was much further along. I think she depleted some things from the soil. It doesn't last as long as they claim. Pic was about 3 weeks before chop.

Current grow finishing up the Kind soil, been adding go box nutes since day 35 or so. Not nearly as bad this time. Still about a month + to go though so we'll see.

I won't be using this soil again. Water only? My ass. I used more kind soil than they recommend as well. Shoulda been good for 4 months according to their calculation.

usually cal deficiency starts with intervanal chlorosis or (yellowing between the vanes) if its a deficiency its the magnesium rust spots that progressed far.

Never used any nutes. The whole claim of kind soil is "water only" but so far, it's looking like I got gypped. It may have been user error though. My water had a really high ph for a while, so I flushed it with proper ph to try to fix it. She seems healthier, no new browning on any new leaves, although it seems to be slowly getting worse on old leaves. Maybe staying the same. I know they won't miraculously heal themselves, but it still scares me. I have about 4-5 weeks until harvest so fingers crossed.

You can get a little cheap microscope or even a phone app microscope to check the undersides of leaves.
I had something like that and it was russet mites. They are much smaller than spider mites.

Russet mites are often confused with nute deficiency. People get fooled and fool around with nutes while bugs multiply.

Also - I prefer PH closer to 6.0
